Nominations Deadline: January 31 at 11:59 pm Eastern Time

Charge

Carry out all activities to select recipients of the Distinguished Contributions to Accounting Literature Award.

Select the recipient(s) of the award from those articles, monographs, or books, published in English, identified by the Notable and Distinguished Contributions to Accounting Literature Award Screening Committee as potentially distinguished contributions in accounting literature.

Specifically:

Actively seek and submit nominations to the Chair of the Notable and Distinguished Contributions to Accounting Literature Award Screening Committee

Current Committee members who are nominated for the award will be asked to either recuse themselves from the Committee or remove their nomination from consideration.

All nominees nominated for a given year’s award – who are not selected for that year’s award – will be automatically considered by the Notable and Distinguished Contributions to Accounting Literature Award Screening Committee for the award for the following 2 years – as long as the nominated work(s) meets the publishing requirements (see award criteria for details). Nominees who were not selected for the 2018 Distinguished Contributions to Accounting Literature Award will be considered during the screening process for the 2019 Award and, if not chosen for the 2019 Award, will also be considered for the 2020 Award. At the end of the selection process for the 2020 Award, if a qualified nominee has not been chosen as the award recipient or has not been re-nominated, he/she will no longer be considered for the award.

Expected Time Commitment

March – April 15 – Review nominations, participate on conference calls and email discussions at the discretion of the Chair, and select award recipient(s)

August – Chair presents the award(s) and check(s) at the AAA Annual Meeting
